s more and more of us work from home – by choice or by necessity,
finding a secluded and quiet space amidst the hubbub of home life can
prove difficult. After all, who wants to take a call from your boss while the dog
is barking and your kids have Cartoon Network cranked to 30? That’s where
the “shedquarters” comes in.

Between races be sure to keep yourself firing on
all cylinders with a trip to the Brickyard Grill with a
full menu and beverages. Or try your luck at one

arcade. The Octane Raceway is full throttle fun!

What are shedquarters, you may be wondering? This newly coined term for
a small and separate home office structure on your property is suddenly
something of a work-from-home movement. In the past, employees and
entrepreneurs have headquartered their home offices in a room, perhaps a
corner by the front door, or maybe cloistered off in the basement. But very
often these high traffic – or even hidden away – areas become problematic.
They are often too close to distractions, such as television and the kitchen.
Family tends to gravitate to these zones too easily.

This blend of fine dining, fun drinks, and funky live music is the newest
sports trend, with the popular venue Topgolf leading the way. The
driving range is now a hip new spot to hang out, whether you’re a
golfer or not. No more dropping coins in a machine to get a bucket
full of balls just to see how far you can hit it. Who knows how far those
shots are really going, anyway?
At Topgolf, with some 40 locations around the country, guests try to
hit their micro-chipped golf balls into circular bulls-eye targets out
in the fields in front of them. The farther the ball goes and the more

And that’s the secret to the shedquarters. It is its own separate place with its
own entrance. When you head out there, you are clearly “going to the office.”
Others know to stay away, and mentally, you know you’re going to work.
In the past, separate sheds have been filled with yard equipment, patio
furniture, or maybe even an old car. Taking a cue from the tiny house
movement, today’s polished and efficient shedquarters are a far cry from these
backyard shelters. In fact, many companies now sell office sheds that can be
delivered to your door fully assembled, with wiring and insulation complete,
or as kits, which can be assembled on site. Most of these “shoffices” are small,
some as little as 8 by 8 feet or 10 by 10 feet and they range in price from about
$6,000 to $12,000, while some are considerably more expensive and come
fully loaded and ready to be placed somewhere perfect with a view.
These new home office spaces often have a few things in common: they are
small, they are modern in design with ample windows so the space doesn’t
feel cramped, and they are
necessarily sparse in terms of
décor. Many of the companies
designing them are using
ecofriendly materials as well.
And because of their minimalist
designs, these shedquarters can
blend into the landscape nicely.
These tiny offices are clearly
built for working … with room
for little else. But the best part of
all? That’s easy. The commute!

accurate the shots, the more points appear under their name on
the computer screen in their group’s hitting bay area. Players are
getting the same kind of practice as the good old days, but in a
lively and fun new atmosphere, which is sure to encourage return
trips.
But it’s the atmosphere at these entertainment/golf centers that truly
sets them apart from the earlier bare bones driving ranges. Visitors
head to their own hitting bay where they can order on-trend foods
and drinks from their host, hang out in comfy lounge-like seating,

and have fun watching each other shank and slice the ball. Full
bars and large screen TVs are part of the complexes, making it
very entertainment driven.
The best part of this new breed of driving ranges? It’s truly meant
as entertainment for all. Both golfers and
non-golfers can compete and even children
will find a few hours of tee time fun and
challenging. Players of all skill levels will
be comfortable trying their hand in this
environment. Who knows, some newbies
may even be eager to make a go at 18 holes
after a few visits to these new and vastly
improved driving ranges. Fore!

Spinach Feta Cheese Dip
FLAVORFUL

Tires screaming around corners. Cars slamming into
sidewalls. If you’re looking for excitement, Octane
Raceway in Scottsdale gives you the ultimate
adrenaline rush! The 1/3-mile track is the only full
time indoor/outdoor track in the U.S. The highspeed European race karts carve up the corners
and fly down the straightaways up to 45 MPH on a
challenging road course. Each lap begins indoors
then winds through an outdoor section of the course
before returning inside.

hen was the last time you went to the driving
range? It might not be the most exciting place to
hang out, unless you’re obsessed with perfecting your
golf swing. But what if going to the driving range was
something you did with your friends at night, with a margarita or a
chilled beer in your hand, and a live band performing nearby? Kind of
like an upgraded night at the bowling alley, only the sport is golf, and
the atmosphere is a bit more swanky.

Directions
Bring water to a boil in a large pot. Place the spinach in the water and blanch until
just wilted (approximately 20 – 30 seconds). Remove from water and place into a
colander, then place into an ice bath so that it doesn’t continue to wilt. Squeeze to
remove all excess water and then rough chop the spinach. Set aside.
Heat olive oil in a sauté pan and add minced garlic. Let the garlic turn golden brown
then add parsley, salt and pepper, and sauté briefly and set aside. Combine feta,
jack and cream cheese in a mixing bowl. Mix cheese until well combined. Add
garlic/parsley mixture and spinach and continue mixing until thoroughly combined.
Place spinach mixture in a casserole dish, sprinkle the top with grated parmesan
cheese and bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes or until bubbling slightly and golden
brown on top. Serve with toasted pita bread. Serves 4.
